In order to financially support citizens adopting special needs children, the law proposes an increase of the one-time payment to up to 100,000 rubles when a child has a disability, is over seven years old or when multiple siblings are adopted simultaneously. The current payment is approximately 13,000 rubles.

The federal law bans adoption, custody or patronage of children by same-sex couples. This measure claims to be aimed at guaranteeing that the children have a balanced upbringing in their adoptive families and at protecting their mental health.
